Direct Ship Monday Save

Milly's Place is a 501(c)(3) equine rescue located in Valley Center California. 

We specialize in rescuing and rehabilitating horses, mules and donkeys who have been neglected, abused or abandoned. 

This is exactly why we are attending the November sale in 2026 in Texas to rescue horses from the abuse and neglect of the auction circuit, also known as the slaughter pipeline.

AMERICA’S FORGOTTEN EQUINE ⬇️

Horses, donkeys and mules get sold into the auction circuit when they are no longer wanted. These can be ex-racehorses, ex-rodeo horses, brood mares, carriage horses, commercial trail ride horses, pasture pets, ex-Amish work horses or buggy horses, etc. Traders flip these horses for profit (like used cars) and sometimes will sell by the pound to sl*ughterhouses across the borders. Donkeys’ skin is sought after to make a traditional Chinese tea called ejiao, byproducts put in things like dog food or treats. Many European countries consume horse meat as well as Japan and Korea. It’s a dark and seedy, sad industry with no accountability, a lot of abuse, neglect and inhumane practices.

When you donate you are helping save lives, providing:

• Purchase price from sale barn
• Transport costs to get them safely to the rescue facilities
• Initial veterinary costs (basic dentals, vaccines, exams)
• Continued and ongoing medical costs associated with rehabilitation (a major expense for equine rescue)
• Training if needed to provide the animal with tools to not only survive, but thrive
• Basics like feed, supplements, bedding, etc
